Draft at ML Fontainas. Hazy yellow golden with white head. Nice cellar funk of front, sour wheat, hay, apple, quince, light flowery, mineral funk. Under medium sweet, medium sour. Medium bodied with sparkly carbonation. Quite nice, though the fruit is more in the background than some other versions.

One of a whole string of new Tilquin fruit lambic experiments, this one with quince, a fruit I have never seen in lambic before – though it has featured in other beer styles (saisons, for example) from time to time, if only very rarely so. Thanks to 77ships for sharing at Moeder Lambic Fontainas. Mousy, egg-white, open but – for unblended lambic – remarkably stable head, hazy yellowish old-golden hue. Aroma indeed filled with clear quince (somewhere in between unripe pear and green apple), embedded in natural lambic aspects of unripe plums, old dry sherry, wet hay and something chalky which may again be related to the quince. Crisp, sour onset, lime-like as well as very green apple-like, very soft carb, supple wheaty breadiness under drying sourness, with the quince adding a crisp ‘green’ and juicy aspect again reminiscent of apple and (hard) pear; gypsum-like aspect in the finish too. Nice apple- or pear-like lambic due to this specific kind of fruit, softer and more juicy and sweetish than expected really; this is one of these second generation Tilquin fruit lambics that should be upgraded to bottled form, as far as I am concerned.
